Letting go

[1_day@_a_time]

To let go doesn’t mean to stop caring; it means I can’t do it for someone else.

To let go is not to cut myself off; it is the realization that I can’t control another.

To let go is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences.

To let go is to admit powerlessness, which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To let go is not to change or blame another; I can only change myself.

To let go is not to care for, but to care about.

To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To let go is not to judge, but allow another to be a human being.

To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes, but to allow others to effect their own outcomes.

To let go is not to be protective; it is to permit another to face reality.

To let go is not to deny, but to accept.

To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but to search out my own shortcomings and petition God.

To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires, but to take each day as it comes, and to cherish the moment.

To let go is not to criticize or regulate anyone, but to become what God wants me to become & realize my dreams.

To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the moment I’m in, for RIGHT NOW!

To let go is to fear less and love more.


Perhaps it is letting go of a child or spouse, or a burden or sorrow, losing a loved one, or learning to live with a situation, which I just cannot change. Read this over, study it, pray for it, apply the spiritual principles of the 12 steps & I will find that letting go of my load will release a peace within me which will allow my spirit to soar & rocket me into the 4th dimension and be free. Give COMPLETELY to God and let a work be done within me, where the need is anyway.

nearly 6 years ago I posted this.

While I'm getting better, I still really want to learn more application of these principles in my life, today, the moment I'm in.

Thank you.. and ouch!

I need to memorize these...I am in Alanon, but this list is really great ..to help me

with someone I care about. A family member. The last time they called I "smothered

them to death"..and..probably why they don't call as often as I would like.

I wouldn't want to be treated that way either..

Anyhow, thanks.

Thanks for this, I'm going to look at it everyday. I have a very hard time with alot of this. I'm hoping the more I read, understand and absorb it, it will start to sink in.

you are welcome!! for me, it's ALL about the application, how each day, I can actually LIVE these principles. Having the head knowledge has never helped me, I must live it. Hope to hear more from you & hear of your journey!

I copied it and printed it out on pretty paper with a pretty font and put one in my cubicle at work and hung one on my bulletin board at home. I look at it often, especially when I'm feeling a little weak, or like maybe I should give in a little.
